(13) These events can be divided into five different stages: 1) binding of proteins (Hin, Fis, and HU) to DNA; 2) pairing of Hin-binding sites; 3) invertasome formation; 4) DNA strand cleavage; 5) strand rotation and religation.

(18) The critical sequence-specific contacts between a Hin monomer and a 13 bp hix half-site are at two T:A base pairs in the major groove of the DNA which are separated by one base pair, and two consecutive A:T contacts in the minor groove.
(19) Hin-mediated repression results from Hin associating into multimers either prior to binding or during the binding process at the hix operator sites (cooperativity).
